PLAYAWAYS ARE IN THE LIBRARY!

Playaways are here! A Playaway is a pre-loaded audiobook contained in a small, plastic case. Listening to Playaways can aid in understanding and appreciating a wide variety of stories and literature. Playaways also encourage good listening skills that are necessary for reading comprehension. For any level reader, Playaways provide a great model of reading!

A print version of the book is also included so that you can read along to better absorb the material. The average cost of a Playaway audiobook is between $45 and $95.

Each Playaway comes in a plastic case. Ear buds or headphones and a AAA battery are included to operate the unit. Students may use their own headphones or earbuds for sanitary reasons and may have to replace batteries as needed. One AAA battery lasts about 12 hours. The library will also change batteries if needed.

The loan period is two weeks, but can be renewed for two additional weeks. It is the responsibility of the student to return the Playaway in the same condition that it was received from the library.

Before a student can check out a playaway, they must sign a Playaway Agreement. These playaways are kept in the librarian's office so please drop by to check one out!
